Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
An absolutely fascinating and frightening look at how AI is developing and being applied. One of the experts claims AI will shift our lives on a scale like the steam engine and electricity did. I wish everyone would watch it, just to be current if no other reason, but I know most won’t. The broad topics are:
- One: China Has a Plan (to dominate AI, led and supported by their government)
- Two: The Promise (the good things that will come from AI, and there are many)
- Three: The Future of Work (what robots were to blue collar jobs, AI is to white collar jobs)
- Four: The Surveillance Capitalists (and often debated topic here re: privacy, collecting and monetizing ALL your personal data and purposely manipulating users, well beyond targeted ads)
- Five: The Surveillance State (big brother is here, more than Orwell imagined, 58 countries are investigating using China’s model)
FRONTLINE investigates the promise and perils of artificial intelligence, from fears about work and privacy to rivalry between the U.S. and China. The documentary traces a new industrial revolution that will reshape and disrupt our lives, our jobs and our world, and allow the emergence of the surveillance society.
